It's not about Qt or not. The shell requires to uniquely and reliably
identify a client. I can't see a way for this to happen securely without
a trusted third-party (today that's ubuntu-app-launch, it might be
apparmor).
Apps aren't able to directly launch other apps, they have to request an
app to be launched (generally via opening a URL), it's the user that
will ultimately decide whether they allow that or not.

Those are all security features that we might allow "power users" to
lift via a setting or similar, but will be the default behaviour for the
foreseeable future.
